The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea opened the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) in June 2004. KIZ is one of the special economic zones of North Korea. According to data from the Unikorea, today some 120 companies have factories in Kaesong in september 2012. The KIC employs more than 50,000 North Korean workers is managed by South Korean Companies. Shoes and clothing make up 60 percent of the goods produced. The KIC is becoming more and more will grow in size. Necessarily Industrial Accidents and Disease are expected to increase. To solve (protect) this problem is applied in terms of industrial safety and health so-called ‘general law’ and ‘special law’ to the KIC. But more serious problem is that they compete. General law is 2010 industrial safety Act and special law are 1) KIC Act, established by the Supreme People's Assembly Standing Committee. 2) Labor Regulation as a Subordinate Statutes, 3) Enforcement Regulations, 4) Labor Safety Rule. Based on the ‘lex specialis derogat legi generali’ will applied to the first the special law (KIC Acts) and will override the general law. Exceptionally, in the case of first-aid measures in the industrial safety Act have an influence on the KIC. On the other hand, there is no effect of criminal responsibility. It is fundamentally important than others, the South Korean companies at the KIC shall observe the standards for the prevention of industrial accidents and disease in KIC Acts(Labor Safety Rule), give training to the health and safety and provide for Workers the legal management treatment at the Workplace. As a result, North Korean Workers will be improved level of health and safety awareness. In this respect, Industrial Accidents and Disease will be reduced.
